 | | The gray wolf, commonly referred to as tundra wolf or timber wolf, is the largest of all wild canids, although its size varies noticeably throughout its large range including Minnesota, Michigan and Montana in the United States and many remote areas of Canada, Alaska and Europe. |
 | | Wolf numbers tend to decrease as the herds are thinned and hunting success diminishes, allowing the natural vegetation to recover, and individual herd members are better fed and able to evade the attacking wolves. |
 | | The wolf has been persecuted, especially in the 20th century, because of its alleged threat to populations of wild ungulates that are desired for sport and subsistence hunting. |
